THE MID-ATLANTIC SONG CONTEST

SAW proudly presents the 35th Annual Mid-Atlantic Song
Contest (MASC) to help songwriters receive recognition for their work and to
further excellence in songwriting through education. Each year, MASC presents awards
in thirteen categories (Lyrics Only was added this year), two
Young Artists Awards, and three Overall Grand Prizes.

Yes, there are rules and prizes (read all about that here) but
here is our promise: we listen carefully and thoughtfully to all these songs,
and our judges do as well. We show you who final judges are (not which
categories they judge) because we are proud of the people who help us decide.

Your entry fee provides funding for many educational and
networking opportunities in the art and craft of songwriting. SAW provides
emerging songwriters with performance opportunities, workshops and peer
critique. For more information, please visit the SAW website.

HOW TO ENTER

Fill out our online form to submit your songs. You may save your work and continue later if you wish.

Once your submission is completed, you will receive an email verification of your entry.

Grand prize winners will be announced at the MASC Awards Gala in January.

All songs remain the property of the songwriter(s). Our judges evaluate the basic components and overall effectiveness of the song, and not the production, quality of recording, or arrangement. It is recommended that your song not exceed 4 minutes.
